Pauly…

The Wolves front office should be trying to find the spaceship behind the Hail Bop commet…

They are so pathetic that they could survive the jim jones koolaid test.

I’m sorry, I’ve just reread my posts and I don’t mean to be so negative, but this seems to bother me a lot more than it does the people it should. aka Taylor and Mchale and Stack and Babcock and Hoiberg.

How is it possible for a team that had J.R. Rider to draft McWont’s?????
He is smaller and slower and can’t score to save his life.

If you are looking from that perspective then Kevin McHale is doing an adequate job.

He is playing the young guys most of the time trying to get them to do some pretty simple things.

The problems are multifaceted though. One the players are already brow beaten into submission because of Wittless. Secondly too many players are playing out of positions that are best for them. Such as Randy Foye should be a 6th man, but he’s the starting PG on this team, Jefferson is a 6-9 PF playing center, our best rookie is a 6-9 PF, and Craig Smith is a 6-6 PF (probably our best 3 players), Mike Miller is a 6th man, or a 3rd or 4th scoring option on a team he has to be the number 1b or number 2 guy. Corey Brewer has limited offense, McCants has no defense…. ect. This basically leads to point 3 which is that McHale put this team together which means they were freaking doomed to begin with.

Going into this season, I didn’t really care how many games the wolves won. I was hoping they would use this year to evaluate the talent they had in order to make decisions about how they would shape their future roster, especially with so much cap space opening up in the next few years.

I am very disappointed with the season so far, not because of the losing, but whom we are losing with. No offense to Ollie, but shouldn’t Foye get most of the time at point guard? How much time should players like Cardinal really receive? Shouldn’t the players the front office believes are part of their future plans should get the bulk of the playing time to see if they should be part of the teams future?

I don’t know, maybe I’m the only one who feels this way… Any opinions?

“All I’ve got to do is get free,” Marbury said. “Once I get free, the team I’m going to go to, I think a lot of people will be shocked.”

What would be more shocking than having Marbury playing the point for the Wolves? Think about it. He’d do it just for the laughs.

If you’re 0-for-December, it really shouldn’t take McHale, O.J. Mayo, or the second coming of Jesus to get you fired up — you ought to be there already.

“They could go 0-for-December if they don’t win, say, at New York the day after Christmas or beat Memphis at home on the 29th.”

I bet McHale has his team fired up against Memphis. He sure isn’t going to want OJ and co. coming in and beating the Wolves (remember the good old saying “Don’t compare Mayo and Love, compare the teams’ records” - yeah that’s going really well.

Is there any chance James beats Melo’s scoring record in a quarter tonight?

I think it could happen.

My early prediction…..47 points.

Go Kev, Go!!!!!

Nice team Glen.

“Amazing stat from 82games.com: Kevin Love has had 20% of his inside shots blocked this season.”

At that rate Love may want to go Rip Hamilton and wear a face mask for protection…
